• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT005 - Conversion factor does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT005: Conversion factor does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during billing or pricing when SAP tries to convert quantities between different units of measure (UoM), but the system cannot find a valid conversion factor between the units involved.
  Typically, this happens when:
  
  The system attempts to convert a quantity from the sales unit to the base unit or vice versa.
  The unit of measure conversion is missing or not maintained in the material master or in the unit of measure conversion tables.
  The billing document or pricing procedure requires a quantity conversion that is not defined.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP SD (Sales and Distribution), materials have a base unit of measure (Base UoM) defined in the material master. Sales documents can use different sales units (Sales UoM). When pricing or billing occurs, SAP often needs to convert quantities between these units to calculate prices correctly.
  If the conversion factor between these units is missing, SAP cannot perform the calculation and throws this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Check the Basic Data 1 view for the Base Unit of Measure.
  Check the Sales: Sales Org. 1 or Sales: Sales Org. 2 views for the Sales Unit of Measure.
  Ensure that the sales unit and base unit are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Unit of Measure Conversion:
  
  Go to transaction CUNI (Units of Measure).
  Check if the conversion between the sales unit and base unit exists.
  If not, create the conversion factor between the units.
  For example, if the base unit is "PC" (pieces) and the sales unit is "BOX", define how many pieces are in one box.
  
  
  
  Check Material Unit of Measure Conversion:
  
  Go to transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Navigate to the Additional Data tab.
  Check the Units of Measure section.
  Maintain the conversion factor between the base unit and alternative units if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Pricing Procedure or Billing Document:
  
  Sometimes, custom pricing or billing logic may require specific unit conversions.
  Verify if any user-exits or custom code is trying to convert units without proper conversion factors.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust Billing Document:
  
  If the error occurs during billing, check the billing document for the units used.
  Adjust the units or recreate the billing document after fixing the unit conversions.

  Summary:
  The error VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT005 indicates a missing unit of measure conversion factor required for quantity conversion during billing or pricing. To resolve it, ensure that the conversion factor between the sales unit and base unit is properly maintained in the material master and unit of measure settings.
